A newbie question: is there a way to track the current memory usage by
yt? I tried searching the docs, but failed to find any info on memory usage.
It would be helpful to know it when running yt in the batch mode on
clusters, to determine what the minimum possible number of nodes to ask
for. Without it, it has to be done by trial and error, and can take a while.
Thank you,
Nick Gnedin

Subject: [numfocus] 2018 John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Contest
To: NumFOCUS <numfocus(a)googlegroups.com>
In memory of John Hunter, we are pleased to be reviving the SciPy John
Hunter Excellence in Plotting Competition for 2018. This open competition
aims to highlight the importance of data visualization to scientific
progress and showcase the capabilities of open source software.
Participants are invited to submit scientific plots to be judged by a
panel. The winning entries will be announced and displayed at the
conference.
John Hunter’s family and NumFocus are graciously sponsoring cash prizes for
the winners in the following amounts:
-
1st prize: $1000
-
2nd prize: $750
-
3rd prize: $500
-
Entries must be submitted by June, 8th to the form at
https://goo.gl/forms/7q86zgu5OYUOjODH3.
-
Winners will be announced at Scipy 2018 in Austin, TX.
-
Participants do not need to attend the Scipy conference.
-
Entries may take the definition of “visualization” rather broadly.
Entries may be, for example, a traditional printed plot, an interactive
visualization for the web, or an animation.
-
Source code for the plot must be provided, in the form of Python code
and/or a Jupyter notebook, along with a rendering of the plot in a widely
used format. This may be, for example, PDF for print, standalone HTML and
Javascript for an interactive plot, or MPEG-4 for a video. If the original
data can not be shared for reasons of size or licensing, "fake" data may be
substituted, along with an image of the plot using real data.
-
Each entry must include a 300-500 word abstract describing the plot and
its importance for a general scientific audience.
-
Entries will be judged on their clarity, innovation and aesthetics, but
most importantly for their effectiveness in communicating a real-world
problem. Entrants are encouraged to submit plots that were used during the
course of research or work, rather than merely being hypothetical.
-
SciPy reserves the right to display any and all entries, whether
prize-winning or not, at the conference, use in any materials or on its
website, with attribution to the original author(s).

Dear all:
When I use the command Lightcore like:
lc = LightCone('data/enzo_tiny_cosmology/32Mpc_32.enzo',
'Enzo', 0., 0.1,
observer_redshift=0.0,
time_data=False)
I want to make a lightcore for Gadget simulation, so I change it as:
lc = LightCone('multiphys.params',
'Gadget', 0., 0.1,
observer_redshift=0.0,
time_data=False)
The command with Enzo can works well, while after changing to Gadget, it received a error report like:
AttributeError: 'GadgetSimulation' object has no attribute 'all_redshift_outputs'
May I know the reason for this, and does tihs command (Lightcore) apply only to the simulation with Enzo?
Best Regards
Xiaoli Lian

Dear all:
The key words of 'primoridal_index' in function of HaloMassFcn cannot be set during my work, and the
traceback and error are:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./hmf.py", line 9, in <module>
hmf = HaloMassFcn(simulation_ds=ds,halos_ds=my_halos,primoridal_index=0.9667,log_mass_min=13.0,log_mass_max=15.5,fitting_function=4,this_redshift=0.0)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'primoridal_index'
Who know the reason for the key work of 'primoridal_index' in HaloMassFcn?

Hi all,
As some of you may know, my participation in yt development is partially
funded by an NSF SI2-SSI grant. I'll be going to my first PI meeting for
the grant in a couple of weeks where I'll be presenting a poster
summarizing the present state of and future plans for the yt community.
As part of this poster I'd like to highlight cool things people have used
yt to accomplish. I'm particularly interested in visually appealing
examples since this will be on a poster. You will of course be credited and
cited for your work.
Please feel free to reply to this thread on or off-list to me directly with
more detail.
Thanks for your help!
-Nathan
